As the world’s smallest broadcast digital
videocassette, Maxell DVCPRO provides
superior image quality and outstanding
performance to fit a wide variety of
Broadcast needs, including ENG/EFP
applications. Maxell applies its many
years of broadcast videocassette tape
engineering expertise and advanced tape
technologies to create the durable and
reliable magnetic tape and shell that
DVCPRO technology demands.

Advantages

Superior Quality: Maxell developed
0.1μm New Ceramic Armor Metal
Particles to achieve higher magnetic
energy. The tape also utilizes a new
calendering technology that optimizes
tape surface smoothness. This process
delivers an improved short wavelength
output and decreased noise creating a
broadcast quality tape that meets the
high demands of DVCPRO, such as its
4.4 μm /bit recording density.

Continuous Reliability: Uniformly
dispersed fillers in the tape formulation
minimize head abrasion by reducing
friction between the head and tape
during high speed head rotations,
cleaning debris from the head. Maxell’s
special binder ensures long-term
durability even in extreme ENG/EFP
environments, and in demanding editing
and playback modes such as
still-frame and shuttle.

Professional Features: The large shell
window design allows for a clear vision
of remaining tape and winding
conditions. To ensure a low error rate,
the videocassette shell and cover
feature a static-resistant resin that
prevents the attraction of dust and
foreign particles that may cause
dropouts.
